Sixth Amazon review of "Trump the Press"

Bertha Wadlow became the sixth reader to give "Trump the Press" a five-star rating at Amazon. I am flattered and post it here to share with readers.From Bertha Wadlow:

The Elites War Against the Voters

Mr. Surber has raised the bar and exposed the elite press, who reside in Washington DC and New York City, that only talk to each other and never the citizens in this country (the voters.)

This echo-chamber floods the airways, print press, and much of digital media with the propaganda that promotes their agenda: the nomenclature of the uni party defined as progressive and progressive lite.

From the time Mr. Trump contemplated entering the presidential race, the non-stop rants went something like this: he will never run; if he runs he won’t win even one primary; even if he wins a primary or two he will never win the nomination; which brings the story current with: he will never win the election. To be continued until November. And maybe a Surber sequel.

This book is unique and the style will be studied by many writers including journalists and academics and may be referred to in the future as the Surber Method.

This is not a polemic and whether you love or hate Donald Trump there are lessons to be learned.

Example of Mr. Surber’s writing style:

“As a country we are splitting because those in power in Washington are corrupt. All of them. Left-wing media, right-wing media, the lobbyists, Congress, the White House, the bureaucracy, and now, of course, the Supreme Court. Americans have lost faith in these institutions, and for good reason.” [...]

Reminiscent of Hemingway, you can read Mr. Surber without a dictionary as apposed to the elite media who glorify themselves with mumbo-jumbo $10 words.

From the Book bio: Don Surber is an army veteran, a West Virginia resident much more familiar with the common man than any journalist in New York or Washington. A graduate of Cleveland State University, Surber spent twenty-seven years as a columnist for the Charleston Daily Mail.
